It could be that when you do it you lose weight and you think,”I feel good. I’m losing weight.” And then eventually you could start having kidney damage, negative effects on IGF-1, atherosclerosis, plaque formation, etc. A lot of these ketogenic diets come from nowhere, but they keto promoters are able to convince hundreds of thousands of people to do it. — Valter Longo

They thought it would take 100 years. — Ray Kurzweil
